Fantastic Company, Fantastic Staff! We used Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations to arrange a trip to French Polynesia. The trip involved all forms of trave land transportation; airlines, hotel, ferry, pre-cruise resort, cruise ship, post cruise resort and return. We have traveled the world an used many different five star travel agents but I can honestly say that this company provided the best support, best communication and competative prices. I cannot recommend them more highlt. We will NOT use another travel agent! read more

Jonathan worked wonders in arranging our recent all gay cruise to Alaska. The weather was typical Alaskan Summer, but the crew, and especially our co-passengers were wonderful! We will be looking forward to working with Jonathan again! This was my first cruise and certainly won't be my last! Howard Bennett and Jason Chen read more

My husband and I just came back from our 5 year anniversary trip to Cancun. We told Jonathan the dates we wanted, our budget and what sorts of things we were looking to do. He got right on it! Booked us airfare, an amazing all-inclusive resort, transportation to and from the airport (which I wouldn't have even thought of!) and even booked us a trip to Chichén-Itza. He helped with passport questions we had. He even gave us some tips on what do and where to visit while we were there. Easiest trip we've ever taken! With two small babies, we don't do much traveling but from here on out, Purple Light will always and forever be my go-to for any traveling! Will definitely be referring them to any of my friends and family. read more

I cannot imagine traveling without Purple Light Vacation's recommendations and expertise! Jonathan and the team at Purple Light Vacations recently put together a four week European extravaganza that included four countries, one ten day cruise, and eleven people - and the trip was sensational! Every aspect of Jonathan's planning was flawless - from arranging transportation to/from our home port (with multiple vans to accommodate the large group) to recommending and booking excursions and adventures in each city we visited. Every aspect went-off without a hitch and we were even able to participate in excursions on days when the cruise ship excursions were cancelled! Off the ship, Jonathan arranged hotel room bookings and sightseeing tours in each city we visited. Remarkably, all of this was accomplished without any additional costs - in fact Jonathan saved several people hundreds of dollars on hotel room bookings! This is my third time using Purple Light Vacations and each time my experience has been effortless, they provide a "turn-key" vacation experience and take the worry away. Purple Light's slogan rings true for me, travel in the know wherever you go! I will not plan another vacation without Purple Light Vacations and I very highly recommend you use them, too! read more

Jonathan has been nothing but amazing on helping me and our group of friends book our vacation. He has gone above and beyond for us. I look forward to working with him again in the future. read more

Jonathan was so helpful and got our cruise booked perfectly. He offered helpful information about each cruise port. He even coordinated letting the ship know our dietary restrictions ahead of time. And to top it all off, he gave us a nice gift in our stateroom as we set sail. read more

We have utilized Purple Light Vacations and Jonathan Geen for both business and vacation travel for a while. Our recent family trip to Italy, just as with our other travel experiences have been fantastic! He arranged flights, hotels and tours for each destination and provided insightful tourist information for our various stops. When we added our Son's pre and post Italy itinerary thru France and Spain, Jonathan was able to arrange great accommodations, and last minute assistance for an ever-changing schedule. We happily endorse Purple Light Vacations and Jonathan Geen! read more

My son and I recently traveled to Eastern Europe visiting Budapest, Sofia, Belgrade, Bucharest and Istanbul. It was my first time traveling without being a part of an organized group bus tour, so I was just a little apprehensive about all the arrangements and all the things that could possibly go wrong. It was the best and most seamless trip ever thanks to Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations! Purple Light took care of all the flights required, 9 in two weeks! Only a small hitch checking in on a couple of flights, but one call to Jonathan and the issue was instantly resolved. He booked all our hotels which were always centrally located, within walking distance of most sites we visited. They were upscale, modern hotels with charming staff who always made sure that all our needs were met during our stay. Jonathan included details for all the cities we visited which included the must-see sites, bars and restaurants which was extremely helpful when deciding where to have lunch and dinner acquainting us with the local fare. I highly recommend Purple Light Vacations for anyone looking for the vacation of a lifetime with no hassles! I will absolutely be using them for all my future vacations. read more

Not only have I used Purple Light Vacations personally, but I have referred my friends to them and will use them again in the future. They are very knowledgeable and personable.

I've never used a travel agent before and always enjoyed planning my own vacations, but this time I was taking my mother in law with me. I not only wanted it to be perfect for all three of us but she is older and I had so many concerns about her mobility and such that I found myself overwhelmed and frustrated. Reaching out to Jonathan at Purple Light Vacations was the best decision I ever made! With just a little information he knew exactly what cruise and hotels would be best for us, I had been stressing for a month and within 3 days that was all gone, everything was booked and I could just relax. My mother in law said this was the highlight of her life and my husband and I also had the fabulous time. I will be using Purple light Vacations for all of my future travel and will recommend them to everyone! read more

Purple Light helped us navigate our way through Barcelona and Sitges, Spain. Their recommendations for activities and restaurants were spot on. We really liked the quick response to our questions. We highly recommend them. read more

Planning an international wedding is stressful by itself, so neither of us had the energy to plan the honeymoon. Jonathan at Purple Light Travel was incredible. It was so nice to not have to worry about any of the elements of the trip while we were in Phuket, Thailand. Jonathan found us the perfect hotel, which had the calm atmosphere we needed after a week-long wedding. The activities were perfect, and Jonathan even made an effort to help us book a humane elephant observation experience. Thank you Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations for working with us and checking in with us along the way. read more

We used Purple Light to book our honeymoon, and we will definitely use them again in the future. They chose a fine hotel in an even finer location for me and my husband, and even hooked us up with local dinner reservations and drinks beforehand. This is what nailed it- the service! Anyone can book a hotel, but the attention to detail is what made this extra special. In addition, they were extremely accommodating in various requests- very responsive and courteous. We look forward to doing business with them again, as we have come to appreciate higher quality get-aways, such as what Purple Light Vacations offers. We definitely recommend them! read more

I used Jonathan and Purple Light to book a trip for my birthday celebration. He was very helpful and from the very first email contact to the end of the cruise Jonathan handled everything with excellence. His communication during the booking process to the day of starting the trip was very thorough and he missed no details. When we arrived on the ship he had a bottle of wine waiting for us and when we returned home he had thank you cards in the mail to thank us for using his services. I will definitely be using Jonathan and Purple Light Vacations again for my future vacation and travel needs. read more

Finding an excellent travel agent today is extremely rare and we can honestly say, that Jonathan from Purple Light Vacations is an absolute gem of a find.

We used Purple Light to book our trip to Cabo. Jonathan took care of everything and just made it so easy for us. The place he found for us was beautiful, all inclusive with outstanding service. We will definitely use Purple Light to plan our next trip! read more

Booked a trip to Palm Springs with them, and had the most wonderful time! The hotel was great, they knew we were coming, room was great, and top notch all around. Will definitely use them for larger trips like the gay cruises they offer. read more

There is not a superlative strong enough to capture the quality of Jonathan's services. He rescued me mid-planning, for a complicated multi city plus cruise European trip, when my original travel agent went AWOL. He found just the right boutique hotels for our "walkable neighborhood" preferences in style of travel. He generously helped with air travel recommendations that the other agent dropped the ball on - even though there was no compensation in it for him on that component! The Purple Light insider guide tips to each of our destinations were great. He kept in touch through the the planning process and while we were traveling to make sure all was well. We will use him for all future travel and recommend to everyone. Thanks, Jonathan. read more

Purple Light has booked vacations for us at Disneyland, Aruba, Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, New York City, Bahamas, Brazil and two cruises and all this since January 2016. We are discerning frequent travelers with a budget in mind. Working with Purple Light gives us the confidence to keep planning more travel! read more

We used Purple Light when we booked our Atlantis P. V. Mexico Resort Vacation. With no additonal cost to us, Purple Light made what would have been a good vacation... an amazing vacation. They handled everything (airline, shuttle, etc). Additionally, they provided excellent insight on what to expect on our vacation and what to see and what to avoid. I give them my highest recommendation. read more

Purple Light has made planning several vacations easier for me. They worked out a family trip getting parents and siblings in from various places without a ton of effort on my part. More significantly, they helped us arrange two international vacations, taking so much of the research out of it for us. After recommending Argentina to us (a place we knew little about), Jonathan took care of flights and hotels, both to Buenos Aires and within that country up north...probably our best vacation together ever. Then this year, he recommended the RSVP river boat cruise up the Danube from Budapest to Prague...wonderful trip! Of course we could have booked that without him, but for no extra cost, we had Jonathan to answer all kinds of questions, book the travel, find us fair priced hotels in the right areas (which we wouldn't have known either without him). He even helped us figure out which of the side excursions to prioritize during the cruise. We've book an Atlantis cruise through P.L. as well. Why not...extra help and advice at no extra cost! Working with Purple Light has taken so much of the stress out of planning a trip; I highly recommend them. read more

My husband and I recently took a trip to Thailand on a vacation that was booked thru Purple Light. We had both been to Asia before, but Southeast Asia was new to us, and we wanted a bit of extra help. We got a ton of extra help, for free! We knew the two cities we wanted to visit, but not much else. Jonathan at Purple Light suggested hotels in gay-friendly neighborhoods, with many restaurants, bars, and shopping within walking distance. And of course, right in the heart of Bangkok. Left to our own, I think we would've ended up on the other (boring) side of town because we know so little about the surroundings. Same can be said for Phuket- and we ended up in a fantastic beach-side resort, all researched, suggested, and booked by Purple Light. In addition, prior to our departure, they sent us an informational packet on both cities: several pages of sights, excursions, things to do, and places to go. It was a great summary of what we were reading online and in books, and we took it with us and referred to it several times. They also helped book our our transfer shuttles and domestic airfare. After hours and hours of travel in airports with difficult languages, this was such a life saver! Purple Light was with us the whole way- from early stages of planning to the actual booking (including being very responsive to email and phone call queries), and throughout our travel. When we arrived to our hotel room, flat-out beat from travel, there was champagne on ice to greet us. Wow! We've used them before, and will absolutely use them from now on. I just can't recommend them highly enough to our family and friends. read more

I have utilized the services of Purple Light several times over the last two years. At all time Jonathan has been extremely responsive to any question or request and always has followed through. In addition, he sends useful information about the trip (travel and locations) that go above what more travel agents provide... and in a cheerful manner. I highly recommend him for your travel needs. read more

We used Purple Light Vacations to book our Atlantis Southern Caribbean cruise. Jonathan guided us through the entire process at no additional charge to us. He kept us informed on all the details of the cruise and events happening on/off the boat. Upon arrival on the ship, a bottle of Merlot was waiting for us. Upon disembarkation, an email was waiting for us to see how we enjoyed the cruise as well as a card in the mail to welcome us home. This attention to detail did not go unnoticed and was very much appreciated. I hold Purple Light Vacations as the gold standard for high quality travel services. read more

We just booked our second cruise within the past year through Purple Light Vacations due to their outstanding service. Jonathan Geen is not only highly professional, he is enjoyable to work with. What is the one thing we all want from the service industry, and especially dealing with travel and vacations-- timely and helpful assistance. Jonathan was quick to respond to any question or inquiry, whether by email or phone, any time or day of the week. He went over and above to make sure we were taken care of, and even provided information about places he didn't even book for us. Purple Light is now our go-to firm for travel and vacations. read more

Jonathan at Purple Light provided me with the most personalised, detailed service for my very first Atlantis Cruise this summer. Starting last fall and winter, he advised, suggested and planned with me to make this three week excursion a success. Although the cruise was 10 days, stays at the beginning and at the end points were thoughtfully laid out and joined almost seamlessly. The key point I want to make is the sensitivity Jonathan and Purple Light were able to exercise with this professional gay male to plan his vacation so well and appropriately.. I'll be relying on their judgement again. read more

Normally when I go on vacation, I research and book hotels on my own, but this year work was extremely busy and I had no time to do this, so I reached out to Purple Light for their help, and am I glad I did! I had planned the country - Greece, and the itinerary - Athens/Mykonos/Santorini/Crete, but only booked my Athens hotel, and was at a loss on where to stay on the islands. Purple Light recommended excellent hotels that I probably would not have found on my own, and they even provided helpful city/island overviews that we referenced often. In addition, they helped fill in some of our time with tours that we thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend Purple Light and plan to use them again for my next trip! read more

I intended to book my own vacation, but came across Purple Light. I then researched the relativity of using travel agents in this age of connectivity. I was surprised to find only positive articles and immediately contacted Purple Light! And am I glad I did. All I had to do is state my needs and the rest was taken care of by Jonathan. Above and beyond my expectations. He saved me so much time and money that I cannot wait to plan the next trip. read more
